Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Moriarty and Jericho walked into the castle and found a secluded corridor.

"The reason why Keith's broom flew into the air was because you tampered with it." Moriarty said straightforwardly, with a firm tone.

Jericho acted very calmly, as if he had been prepared, but he kept his head down and hadn't raised it since Moriarty called him over.

"You wanted so much to ride a broom and fly freely. When you saw Keith's anxious look, you took advantage of the situation and chanted a spell on his broom.

I think that spell should be a kind of magic unique to the Blanche family. Lilith said that you are a sports family. If it hadn't been for this incident, I didn't know that you could cast spells silently, and maybe you could cast spells without a wand.

?Although it may only work on that kind of magic."

Moriarty saw that Jericho still had no intention of speaking, so he continued.

"The effect of the mysterious spell is obvious. Something happened to Keith, and Ms. Hooch was lured away. We practiced our skills as expected and successfully became Quidditch players.

As for Keith's safety? You've thought about it a long time ago. You know I'm on the spot and I won't leave it alone.

And no matter how you look at it, this is an accident, and no one will suspect you. You have already found a scapegoat, Percy Weasley.

Who made him have a quarrel with Keith and say those words? There is no more suitable person than him, right?"

Moriarty's tone became cold. If Keith and Percy hadn't had a dispute, maybe Jericho would have actually cast a spell on a Gryffindor student!

"I know that you are not as sunny as you appear. There are some special Slytherin qualities hidden in your heart.

It doesn't matter, I'm not opposed to using any means necessary, but we are only in the first grade and you are only 11 years old! Practicing your skills is not worth using dirty methods against your classmates, even if it is your favorite Quidditch."

Jericho suddenly raised his head and trembled his lips: "Mr. Moriarty, I..."

He stopped suddenly, and Moriarty saw the circles under his eyes were red.

"If you have to carefully calculate and rely on shady means to solve such a small matter, what will happen in the future?

Do you want to be a Quidditch national team player, or are you a despicable person hiding under a cloak?" After Moriarty said these words calmly, he turned around and left. Jericho needed someone to think calmly.

think.

When Moriarty returned to the common room, a large group of little snakes gathered around him. Seeing this scene, Leon shook his head helplessly. He wanted to establish his authority, but the first and second grade snakes all listened to Moriarty.

Riati's words.

In the evening, Jericho and Larpo returned to the dormitory very late, and Moriarty didn't say anything to them.

Early the next morning, Moriarty rarely slept for an extra hour because it was the weekend.

After getting up, Moriarty went straight to the library. He wanted to return a few books and borrow some ancient rune books by the way, and he had an additional follower by his side, Marcus Flint.

But after entering the library, they separated.

Marcus bit the bullet and chewed up a book called "Fire Dragon Species of Britain and Ireland". He also knew that reading a book about fire dragons might arouse suspicion among interested people, so he borrowed the "Hippogriff Psychological Manual" as a cover.

Moriarty found "Advanced Rune Translation" on a bookshelf.

A gentle and soft voice came from behind the bookshelf: "Mr. Moriarty, are you ready to replace Professor Bathshedda Bablin as the new Professor of Ancient Runes?"

Gemma Farley walked out from behind the bookshelf, holding a copy of "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" with a somewhat resentful look in her eyes.

Moriarty shook his head and smiled: "Professor Bablin has done a lot of research on ancient runes, but I am more practical."

Gemma nodded in understanding. Although she acted delicate and cute now, she was actually a very bold girl. Moriarty thought of the topics Gemma and Lilith talked about at the sorting banquet.

Sure enough, Gemma's eyes seemed to be dancing with light, and she smiled sweetly: "I just happened to be stumped by a few questions. Can you help me solve my confusion?"

Moriarty was sure he saw the meaning of the challenge in her green eyes, but how could he easily agree? He made a condition of exchanging notes on transfiguration. Gemma's transfiguration remained the leading position among third-year students.

.

Gemma snorted: "What a man who doesn't want to suffer. Just wait, I'll get it now."

When Gemma retrieved the notes, she found Moriarty sitting quietly on the table reading a book, with no trace of the Transfiguration Notes in sight.

"Moriarty, are you kidding me?" Gemma tightened her mouth in anger, her cheeks puckered together, and she actually felt a little baby fat.

Moriarty took the notes from her hand unceremoniously, opened a few pages and replied casually: "In fact, I don't have any notes on transfiguration at all, because there is nothing important for me to record.

But I didn’t mean to fool you, I sent a letter to Transfiguration Today, where you will see my theoretical conception.”

"Are you kidding? Are you sure they will accept your manuscript?" Gemma's expression suddenly became much more serious. She put her hands on the table and leaned down to make eye contact with Moriarty.

Moriarty stepped back a few inches, avoiding Gemma's intense gaze, and said, "I can't be more sure. You'll be able to see it probably next Wednesday, but I don't think it will be of much help to you."

Elemental transformation is a shortcut that Moriarty came up with for himself. It may inspire legends like Dumbledore and Voldemort, but for Gemma, it is very difficult to apply elemental transformation in actual combat.

However, Gemma didn't think so. She sat down next to Moriarty unwilling to admit defeat, opened the borrowed book and started reading, but she muttered: "Looking down on me? Humph..."

Suddenly the corners of her mouth curled up, as if she had read something interesting in a book.

"I'll take your word for it, but now -" Gemma said to Moriarty, "I guess you don't mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Okay, just ask, it's best to let me have the same feeling as I did in the third grade class." Moriarty almost finished reading Gemma's notes, and there was nothing worthwhile except Professor McGonagall's personal demonstration of Animagus.

concerned.

Gemma asked some questions they had studied in the previous week without politeness, trying to stump Moriarty.

But none of the problems were difficult for Moriarty, and he solved them all in less than two minutes.

Gemma admired him a little and said with a smile: "Seriously, Moriarty, why do you always give people the feeling of knowing everything?"

Moriarty shook his head lightly. He was not Dumbledore, so he would not spend time telling young wizards about his experiences or giving them chicken soup.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk more, Gemma smiled, but there was a hint of anger in that smile.

She pouted and hummed: "You chatted happily with Lilith, but you didn't want to talk to me for a little longer. Moriarty, do you know that everyone said that you and Tonks were inseparable in the morning, and Lilith was inseparable at noon?"

."

"It's just a little commotion among teenagers and girls, don't worry about them," Moriarty said as if he had been there before, "Did they also say that I stayed with Jericho during class, and Marcus was with me at night?

"

Gemma smiled, "You have noticed, too. Everyone is starting to focus on you. Many people regard you as their idol. The girls even gave you a very domineering title."

"Overbearing?" Moriarty looked at her.

"Yes, they like to call you in Quidditch forever shining," Gemma held her chin and tilted her head, as if she saw Moriarty flying on the court, and her voice became a little hollow:

"Eternal, nothing in the world will last forever, but they think you will. Isn't it a very overbearing title?"

Moriarty felt strange: "Isn't it a shining meteor?"

"That's what Lilith named you." Gemma sat up straight and got close to Moriarty: "Tonks said that the word "shooting star" was unlucky, so she changed it to "permanent."

There’s only Lilith in there!”

Moriarty did not avoid her eyes. He raised his voice slightly: "That's just your opinion. In fact, I only see magic in my eyes!"

This time he said a little more: "For example, ancient runes - you know my boots, the reason why they can carry Larbo running is because they are an alchemy item and have the ability to increase movement speed.

feature, I want to add another feature to it, bounce.”

Gemma seemed to regard Moriarty as a professor. She took out a pen and wrote down all these words.

Moriarty did not stop her and continued: "So I just need to learn the knowledge about bouncing and movement in ancient runes.

As for how to make it, that is the knowledge of other courses. Do you understand, Gemma, I just choose the part I need from different courses, whether it is magic or something, as long as you study, you must be targeted."

Gemma nodded seriously, "I will reflect on my learning methods. Thank you very much for your guidance? Although this sentence is a bit strange to say to my junior, I am serious.

In addition, to express my gratitude, I will tell you a secret!"

She leaned closer to Moriarty and whispered: "Professor McGonagall has a Transfiguration Club. As for what the name is - I'm sorry that I can't tell you yet, but I think you will know soon, McGonagall."

There is no reason for the professor to let go of such a genius like you, and I look forward to meeting you in the club."

After saying that, she waved to Moriarty and walked out of the library with a blushing face, but she didn't know that Moriarty didn't take the club to heart at all.
